Roman settlement places - open dataset

To clarify the legend under point 6 in Table 2 in Hagmann, D. 2024. “Adopt, Adapt, and Share! FAIR Archeological Data for Studying Roman Rural Landscapes in Northern Noricum.” Journal of Open Humanities Data 10 (13): 1–21. https://doi.org/10.5334/johd.129: When it states "Size of the site cluster (number of find spots in the cluster)," it means a cluster in a 'Functional Region.' Thus, the cluster size indicates the number of individual sites or find spots within that particular Functional Region in the Area of Interest (AOI).

Fundplatz-ID: eindeutiger numerischer Identifikator des Fundplatzes Mean_X: gemittelte X-Koordinate (EPSG:31256) Mean_Y: gemittelte Y-Koordinate (EPSG:31256) Cluster_size: Anzahl der Fundplätze bzw. Fundstellen in der jeweiligen 'Functional Region' OSM_ID: ID des dem Fundort entsprechenden Ortes auf Basis des OpenStreetMap-Datensatzes OSM_Name: Qualitative Definition der OSM-ID auf Basis des OpenStreetMap-Datensatzes OSM_Kategorie: Zuweisung zu einer qualitativen Landnutzungs-/Landbedeckungskategorie auf Basis des OpenStreetMap-Datensatzes OSM_Typ: nähere qualitative Charakterisierung der OSM-Kategorie auf Basis des OpenStreetMap-Datensatzes

Fundplatz-ID: Unique numerical identifier of the archaeological site Mean_X: Mean X-coordinate (EPSG:31256) Mean_Y: Mean Y-coordinate (EPSG:31256) Cluster_size: Number of archaeological features belonging to the same cluster as the current site OSM_ID: ID of the location corresponding to the archaeological site in the OpenStreetMap dataset OSM_Name: Qualitative definition of the OSM ID based on the OpenStreetMap dataset OSM_Kategorie: Assignment to a qualitative land use/land cover category based on the OpenStreetMap dataset OSM_Typ: Further qualitative characterization of the OSM category based on the OpenStreetMap dataset

Datensatz zu den die Fundstellen beinhaltenden römerzeitlichen Fundplätzen der Area of Interest (AOI) des PhD-Projektes "Roman Rural Landscapes in Noricum" von Dominik Hagmann. Der Datensatz basiert auf grundlegend überarbeiteten und modifizierten Abfragen der Fundstellendatenbank des Bundesdenkmalamtes. Die Fundplätze wurden auf Basis der Fundstellen durch Anwendung eines geostatistischen Verfahrens definiert, unter Anwendung des "Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise Algorithmus" (DBSCAN; nach Ester, M., Kriegel, H.-P., Sander, J., & Xu, X. (1996). A density-based algorithm for discovering clusters in large spatial databases with noise. In E. Simoudis, J. Han, & U. Fayyad (Hrsg.), Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (S. 226–231). AAAI Press. https://aaai.org/Papers/KDD/1996/KDD96-037.pdf), implementiert in der Software QGIS (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/blob/master/docs/user_manual/processing_algs/qgis/vectoranalysis.rst#dbscan-clustering), als dichtebasierte Datenclusteringmethode. Jeder Fundplatz steht dabei für eine enstprechende Anzahl an Fundstellen innerhalb eines bestimmten Suchradius. Zur realräumlichen Verortung wurden die Fundplätze mit dem OpenStreetMap-Datensatz (OSM, bezogen von https://download.geofabrik.de/) abgeglichen.

Data set on the Roman sites of the Area of Interest (AOI) of the PhD project "Roman Rural Landscapes in Noricum" by Dominik Hagmann. The dataset is based on fundamentally revised and modified queries of the archaeological site database ("Fundstellendatenbank") of the Austrian Federal Monuments Office. The sites were defined based on findspots by applying a geostatistical method, using the "Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise" algorithm (DBSCAN; after Ester, M., Kriegel, H.-P., Sander, J., & Xu, X. (1996). A density-based algorithm for discovering clusters in large spatial databases with noise. In E. Simoudis, J. Han, & U. Fayyad (Eds.), Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (pp. 226-231). AAAI Press. https://aaai.org/Papers/KDD/1996/KDD96-037.pdf), implemented in QGIS software (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/blob/master/docs/user_manual/processing_algs/qgis/vectoranalysis.rst#dbscan-clustering), as a density-based data clustering method. Each site represents a corresponding number of find spots within a particular search radius. For the real-space location, the findspots were matched with the OpenStreetMap dataset (OSM, obtained from https://download.geofabrik.de/).
